Favorite New Girl: Zooey Deschanel. Oh, and before you chastise us for going with the obvious choice, please consider this.
Favorite New Girl Not Starring in a Show of the Same Name: It鈥檚 a tie鈥� between AWKWARD鈥檚 Ashley Rickards and SUBURGATORY鈥檚 Jane Levy. Seriously. We can鈥檛 decide, can you?
Favorite New Guy: In a crowded field of very deserving candidates including HART OF DIXIE鈥檚 Wilson Bethel, REVENGE鈥檚 Gabriel Mann and ONCE UPON A TIME鈥檚 Josh Dallas, one man elevated evil to an entirely new level of fun. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES鈥� Joseph Morgan, we salute you!
Favorite Fake Newscaster: With his sly delivery and trademark smirk, Seth Meyers continues to demonstrate that should the day ever arrive when Jon Stewart decides to look for other opportunities outside of THE DAILY SHOW, the man manning SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE鈥檚 Weekend Update desk is ready and waiting in the wings.
Favorite Funny: The $25 Foosball 鈥渂it鈥� on COMMUNITY was worth every penny. Hence, Exhibit 鈥淎鈥�
Favorite New Drama: With its litany of plot twists and cadre of characters whose murky loyalties had us questioning motives at every turn, HOMELAND was Showtime鈥檚 24-equivalent minus the silly time constrains and plus the nudity.
Favorite New Comedy: What do you get when you combine a wickedly talented six person ensemble willing to do anything, and we mean anything, for a laugh? HAPPY ENDINGS, or as we like to call it, quite possibly the funniest series since that show about that coffee addicted gang from Central Perk.
Favorite Fictional Town: Complete with a seemingly never-ending calendar of events and festivals rivalled only by that of HART OF DIXIE鈥檚 Bluebell Alabama, this season of PARKS AND RECREATION cemented Pawnee Indiana鈥檚 status as the live action equivalent of THE SIMPSONS鈥� Springfield courtesy of a ridiculously endearing ensemble, an ever-expanding collection of hilarious townspeople, and one incredibly adorable horse (RIP Li鈥檒鈥� Sebastian)
Favorite Fictional Family: Despite our love of MODERN FAMILY鈥檚 Dunphey-Pritchett clan, this blue-collar blogger feels a slight obligation to stick with fellow members of the 99% this year by raising a bottle to Showtime鈥檚 SHAMELESS Gallagher family for taking the dysfunctional family values to an entirely new level.
Favorite Four-legged Friend: Simply put, the almost unheard of 17-year life expectancy for Amanda/Emily鈥檚 adorable yellow Labrador Sam on REVENGE gives us hope for our frequent couch companion Mac.
